It looks like the exclusive track is called "Mean Monday" - I cant read Swiss or German but it looks like you get a code with the book and are able to download this track as an mp3. Book is written by Daniel Ryser

I saw this track on youtube and I don't like it absolutely as well as 70% of the 'Touch' LP. For me it's a pity to see the biggest pop music experimentators getting stuck with this primitive over-clicheed smooth pop jazz. The 'cocktail / smooth' genre itself is the one big clichee where everything is predictable. And it hurts their last album very bad. 'Mean Monday' and 'Dialectical Kid' sound like some very weak parodies of 'Rubberbandman' and 'Nervous'. It's not even the level of Yello.

I know many fans want to bring the 'old sound' back - my position is different: they need to make something completely new instead of copying one of the most stereotypic genres in the world. Otherwise it will be the end of Yello creativity.
